Played By Love 14. FIRST TREATMENT
Kelvin entered Umbro Medical Center for the first time. If he hadn’t seen nurses and doctors in uniforms, patients in hospital gowns moving about, he would have mistaken the building for a hotel. He walked up to the reception and got directions to his doctor’s office. He went ahead to locate the office. He passed the Neurology department and saw a young man in a wheelchair, with a young woman around the same age as the man pushing the wheelchair. Kelvin suddenly felt sadness run through his entire being, he wished Zara was with him. All he had gotten was a text, he knew if she had her way, she would have shown up. He blamed his ailment for putting them in a situation where they would not be able to see each other regularly. He had no family or friends that could have been there for him. All he had was Zara and her family. Since he had refused to reveal the news of his condition to Zara’s parents, he was doomed to be in his own. Kelvin felt alone, in a busy place as a hospital. H

Anne was surprised he was not matching the energy she was giving. “Was it, not a video that caused the trouble we were facing in the first place? We tackled that issue with a video!”"Hold on," Oliver checked the stocks. Indeed, they had risen. "The stocks are up!" He chuckled and looked at Anne. He was grateful the whole thing worked out and he didn't have to worry about losing the company.“Yeah, different broadcast stations are wanting to have interviews with you. The tabloids are buzzing with content concerning this video. Our phone lines have been buzzing since the video was posted," she showed Oliver the iPad screen. "I picked out some interviews to be done, the first one is by 8:45 am tomorrow,” Anne dropped the tab on his table. Oliver looked at the screen, he wasn't sure he was ready to appear for interviews on this matter. Anne was jolly about it, he wanted to refuse. He knew better than to say no to Anne.He tried to change the topic of discussion, “So now that we are bac

She was restless.Zara wondered why she had not been able to reach Kelvin. She was dying to know how the doctor's visit went. But all of a sudden, Kelvin wasn't reachable again. She kept calling, but she could not reach him, nor did he return her text.The one time she wasn't with her phone was when she went to the bathroom. By the time she came back, there were three missed calls from Kelvin.Zara immediately dialed his number and it wasn't reachable again. She became very restless, wondering what went wrong.She kept trying his number, waiting for him to pick up. All she needed was to hear Kelvin's voice at the end of the receiver.Something in her was telling her to leave the house, but she knew for sure that was not going to end well.She wasn't sure what to do and Oliver was not back from work.“Oh Oliver,” a thought came across her. She searched for his number and then remembered that she hadn't saved it. At the time, she had felt there was no need to, she could now see every r
Played By Love 17. Alive And Awake
Kelvin's eyes flew open. The dull grey ceiling stared back at him, it remained like that for some seconds. There were a lot of questions in his head at that moment,He was alive. The smell of chemicals and medicine, that signature smell of hospitals filled his nose, with a faint smell of fruits. He could hear the sound of the heart rate monitor beside him, and he noticed for the first time that he had an oxygen mask on. Kelvin slowly removed it from his face, and he heaved out a deep sigh which was stopped halfway because of a dull pain in his chest.He was really alive after all. Kelvin felt warm relief flow across his body, he had never been so happy before in his life. He had watched his life flash before his own eyes, it was disappointing that he had become quite frail.His memory jogged, and he remembered why he had passed out. Kelvin slowly sat up on the bed, his body felt heavy and weak to his commands, but he still managed. He glanced at the table and he saw his phone star
Played By Love 18. The interview
Oliver rang the hospital in his car. He wanted to know Kelvin's state, he wanted to check on him before he went to the interview. "Good day, Mr Russell," Doctor Kendrick answered on the line."Good day doctor, how is Mr Kelvin doing?" Oliver went straight to the matter. "He was awake a while ago, he seemed very healthy and strong. Honestly, I was surprised he could already sit up after that surgery," the doctor answered. There were voices in the background. "He is asleep now, everything is going smoothly, sir," the doctor continued. Oliver could nearly picture the doctor's intense eyes. "I see, thank you very much, take good care of him and provide me with information concerning any future development with his condition," Oliver spoke quickly. He looked to the front and his eyes met Jeff's from the rearview mirror. "Sure sir, I will let you know," the doctor replied. "Good, I will have to hang up now, do have a good day," Oliver ended the call and put the phone down on the seat be

"What the fuck is that? Why is she asking him inappropriate questions?" Anne asked angrily. The attendants were trying to calm her down as she walked towards the director. She looked over to Oliver, and he winked at her, signaling for her to calm down. “I married Zara for love,” Oliver answered with a small smile on his face. “Zara and I love each other very much, so we kept our relationship very private, it is only natural for the public to assume that," Oliver sat forward and clasped his fingers together. Sally nodded her head as he talked as if she was satisfied with his reply. "You see, I did not want to expose her to something she is not comfortable with,” Oliver added.The fact that he said these things as if he truly meant it made him slightly uneasy. "I see, but it was true that your stocks have been rising ever since. It is also not a secret that your company has been going through a bad year earlier in this quarter, and the fact that your wife's appearance was just arou

Oliver raised a brow. He didn't like where Anne was going. "We have to go all out, in making sure all the cameras don't leave your side,” Anne seemed to be excited about the whole thing. Oliver let out a soft laugh, he had always known Anne to be a clown.Anne stopped, wondering what was hilarious.She ignored him and continued, “Well, I have your outfits ready. I have informed Zara that I’ll be coming to pick her up at noon. I’ll have her back before 4:00 pm so you can leave together,” She swiped the screen of her iPad, showing Oliver what she had prepared.Shit! Oliver paused abruptly like he just had an epiphany. “I haven’t told Zara about the awards dinner, and it is tomorrow! Anne, could you please help me out again,” Oliver pleaded.Anne rolled her eyes and responded, “I guess I should add ‘mess cleaner’ to my job description Fine, I’ll call her,” She gave in.She started putting folders inside her bag. She was getting ready to represent Oliver in the meeting.“I guess I shou

Oliver frowned and swallowed hard. His face twitched with unregistered emotions as he watched the person approach him. She was elegant and tall, her dress was fitted. Her slit stopped at her thigh exposing her skin, the body like that of a model. Vanessa Willow.Zara had also recognized her from the pictures Anne had shown her. She was the one who had planned the fall for Oliver. Zara gasped, she looked too beautiful to be evil.It was just like one of those sayings. "You never know the heart of people," Zara thought. "My darling Oliver!" The woman spoke, with a wide grin that could be mistaken for a smile.She stopped briefly, as she turned her face to Zara.It was as if she was scanning her with her eyes, they screamed jealousy. She widened her eyes a bit as if surprised by her. She probably did not expect Zara to be more beautiful than the pictures and videos portrayed.Vanessa's hiss was almost audible. She had nearly started comparing herself with the peasant in front of her.
